I purchased one at Christmas and am just getting around to using it, but I can't get it formatted. Please help

There is a lock switch on the side. When down it protects your data from erasing. Click it to unlock and you can format.

A lot of times the device can do it in the settings, other than that put it in your comp right click>format> FAT32 (usually)> then hit start.

Download a freeware EaseUS partition Manager, delete the partition first, then format the partition use the fat32 format. I just format my 32gb TF micro SD card this morning

I've updated the firmware to the latest version (something of a comedy of errors), and I find that it just doesn't handle PDF files very well. The second problem can be sidestepped if you can reformat your PDF documents with larger margins. Not ideal, I know.I haven't encountered the first problem yet. Updating the firmware may be a solution for you on that. (I didn't try any PDF files until after updating.)

Not need to. I have used mine for months without formating it and I have not had any problems.

I have no idea but you can try to format the card again, this may solve the problem. If not, I'll suggest to return it.

I couldn't get it to be writeable, even after reformatting in several different formats on my mac with Disk Utility.

while I don' t have a clear cut answer, I do have one that works. See if it at least is at least recognized in device manager under Windows' control panel. If it is, you might right click on properties and have windows look for a new driver on the net. You might want.to reformat it under fat32 or NTFS....

Try formating it in other way than FAT32. I use NTFS, which allowes me to copy larger files etc.

Did you format it? It needs to be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)

Same thing happened to me. It is the format you are saving the file as. I called their support and they told me the correct format. Sorry, I can't remember what is is. Give them a call and they will hook you up.

How did you format it and what type is it? The cheap ones will not work, I found there is actually a big difference in the quality of USB sticks and its no surprise the cheap ones don't even get recognized by MMI....

Tried downloading it , it did download but didn't work well when I went into it so I deleted it.

I had the same problem with this item. Bought it for my daughter for Christmas and it didn't work when she opened it. The wrapping also indicated that it had been opened before - didn't seem new. Perhaps it was a return from someone else and they tried to refurbish it. There was packing tape all around it.

Mine didn't work either. As a last resort, I thought I'd just just use it as a standard 8gb storage card. No luck. Computer shows it has only 93kb of storage space - not 8gb. Tried reformatting - no change. Just a $35 piece of garbage. My suggestion - throw it in the trash where it belongs.

I had that problem. My daughter figured out how to format it with the camera. I think she looked it up in the book that came with the camera.

Sorry, I gave it to someone as a gift. I'm not very computer savvy. Wish I could help.
